Pie menu lag

Noticing that there is severe delay with opening the pie menu when clicking on my sim or even to just click the fridge. I have taken out my mods and even with them out I notice there is still the same lag, which was surprising for me. Before the patch update I never had this problem sigh.

    cocoskin14  Please update your laptop's Nvidia graphics driver.  You can get the newest version here:

    https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/

    Select GeForce, GeForce 900 series (notebooks), GTX 950M, Windows 10, and download the Game Ready Driver.  Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator."  Restart after installing and before trying to play.

    cocoskin14  Does it happen if you empty out your sims' inventories?  What about if they're living on a different lot?  You don't need to save your progress.

    If neither helps, please test a different (previously unplayed) household in this save, and new sims in a new save, for comparison's sake.  Let me know what you find.

    Just to let you know that I did what you suggested and it did not work I'm still experiencing the lag, my game is basically unplayable at this point.  But thank you for your help and response.

    cocoskin14  Since the new save is affected too, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
